Graduation : MyTurn

By Erica L .

2019 I sat in the crowd Looking at the seniors all around

Eager for the time when I would walk across that stage

Think of all the memories Think of all the activities We ? re going to have lots of fun

Spending time with family instead of on the run

Now I ? ve graduated , but without a crowd Now it ? s my turn , without a stage

Graduation ? s gone virtual ; no large gathering allowed

And it hurt just a little , but I ? ve got to act my age

It will be ok ; I ? ve got my own way To make enjoyable this special day

My family worked quickly , planning a party

Making it perfect and the food hearty

I ? ve got my family , What more could I want ? So wipe away those tears You ? ll remember this for years

It may not be the same as when I sat in the crowd

But I ? m glad God gave me all this , And He helped my family plan it out

Congrats to all you who graduate Hope you and your family celebrate Remember even though it isn ? t the same This is your special day
